> [@Naklofen](#): > > The point is the shotgun is for close range , maybe todays modern “shotgun rifles” can have longer range then normal ones, but NOT IN WW1 !! hittin ppl from 50m away and kill em is just playin stupid. And i dont use shotty, i just picked one once on the floor, kiiled 2 ppl with such easy from 30+m away…its cleary broken, and if ppl dont see this or just beein ignorant fools, well then we have a problem and DICE won again by trollin us like pigs, good day Was curious if you could scrounge up some video from recent games where you shot someone and One-Hit-Killed them from 50 meters away? It may have been like that 8 months ago (not sure since I only bought the game in July of this year) but it’s certainly not like that now. If you one shot someone from that distance, I bet the damage indicator will say +8 because they only had 8% health left. When I shoot someone from more than 10 meters away, I either get 8 damage on them or 4, depending on body part and how many pellets hit the mark. Again, if it is such a good weapon, then start using it. I used to think sniping was easy mode until I started trying to accomplish the challenge with the sniper-shield–I have a new respect for scouts now (not much, but a little 😛 ) ---

You know what’s funny? Getting these 300 shotgun kills was significantly easier (at least for me it was) than getting 15 tripwire HE kills. ---

I just played since last weekeend and couldn’t help notice there was a lot of shot gunners. Does that mean this will finally end by the Tides comes out? ---

Got it last night after a few hours of TDM. Its actually pretty decent. I think the Russian Axe will be unlocked in a similar manner next Friday, or on a different Friday perhaps. ---

Nobody’s forcing anyone to use any shotgun! All you get is another dumb dog tag. Stop crying. 138 to go! ---

I did it fast and played conquest at Fort Vaux, Verdun Heights and Tsarazyn. Leveling Up the 12G Automatic, Sjoergen and M1900. Other players use just the Noob A-10 Hunter. ---

I played 5 matches of CQL yesterday and was killed by a shotgun once - and it was my squad mates double barrel that an enemy picked up. There’s one part saying it sucks cause shotguns are inconsistent, and another part saying it sucks because “everyone” is using shotguns. I’ve experienced more of the former and less of the latter - and that’s fine with me. If you want more shotgun consistency, play TDM - if you don’t want to see many shotguns, play CQL. No idea what everyone is complaining about apart from the time frame to complete the challenge being too tight and strict. ---

Just have to change how you play a little, knowing there is a 50% chance that assault guy you just spotted has a shotgun. ---

Every rock contains at least 1 prone assault with a shotgun lol ---

So after giving this a bash(I hate shotguns!) I have come to 3 major conclusions… 1. They are terribly inconsistent. One minute you can OHK at reasonable range the next, a whole mag won’t kill (using M97 as still need that elite codex, 2 birds 1 stone and all that). 2. There is no reason NOT to use a 10-A as it pretty much out classes most other shotguns. 3. This is going to hurt… ---

If you think they are so cheesy and easy to use post your stats on this thread of you dominating the leaderboards using the shotgun only on Conquest or Ops. I main medic, not scouts or I have I read that incorrectly? I don’t play ops or conquest either as I don’t like vehicles the closest I’ll go is frontlines. ---

To be honest I find ways to use shotguns in wide-open fields. I love the m97 hunter. But yeah shotguns can be certainly a lot more unreliable due to lag and weird hit effects than some guns. On the other hand I truly think 300 kills was way too many man. You are asking a lot of people over a short time. I already use the shotgun enough, and did not want in any way to have to do 300 more kills for the prize. ---

The M97 Hunter is just as good or better than the 10-A in certain ways. There is inconsistency with all of them, and 10-A hunter has a lot of inconsistency now at all distances for me. I exclusively use the M97 Hunter or double barrel for my shotgun needs. But I agree sometime I am like what the heck happened there I hit him square with 2/3 of those bullets. The damage drop off sometimes is crazy. ---

> [@purpleflump](#): > > It didn’t take me long, 4 matches of operations, DONE That is certainly putting a positive spin on this. You averaged 75 kills an operation exclusively with the shotgun. Depends on the operation. They can be long and tiring, especially on a losing team. Depends on who you are playing with and against. Depends on the map for sure. ---

But I agree sometime I am like what the heck happened there I hit him square with 2/3 of those bullets. The damage drop off sometimes is crazy. It is for me though… This afternoon, I struggled with M97 inconsistency so switched to the 10-A and alot of that went. Back with the M97 and a lot was back. ---
